Course Curriculum
What is Zen?
What makes zen meditation distinctive? You learn about posture, breathing and the role of attention. We clarify common misconceptions and establish a simple and effective meditation structure.
Training Attention
Distraction is natural. Training attention is possible. You learn how concentration works and how to stabilize the mind without force. Practical tools for dealing with restless thinking.
Thoughts and Emotions
Thoughts shape perception. You discover how interpretation influences experience and interaction. Meditation creates an open mind.
Clearer Choices
Awareness of your needs and goals makes decision making easier. Meditation creates space for clearer choices in work and relationships.
